There are not many blogs out there dedicated to cooking on a pellet smoker. I have been cooking, grilling & smoking over 35 yrs now. I recently bought a Traeger Lil Tex Elite pellet smoker & have cooked on it over six yrs. now. I would like to share recipes & info I have gained from cooking on it.
Update 2014: I have plenty of recipes here for the pellet smoker so I am now including other outdoor cooking and some of my indoor cooking too.

My Father's Day gift 2016

Hope all Dads had a great Father’s Day, ate some good BBQ
and food with family! I had a pretty
nice week-end and we had great weather.

Our daughter came for the week-end. Saturday I had two guys
in putting new roofs on my two sheds and they finished by late evening.

Our son took us all out to eat Saturday evening. We went to
a pizza place about an hour away. They have wood fired pizza ovens there and it
was delicious. We had some appetizers and then a pepperoni, red pepper and
onion regular style pizza and a Detroit style pizza. It’s a little like a deep
dish but is made in a square pan with crispy gooey edges.

I had Sunday brunch for all. After we ate my wife gave me a
present. We usually just get our own but she had seen I had a Camp Chef iron
griddle in my wish list on Amazon and got that for me. In one way I have her
trained right! The kids had already given me a cast iron garlic roaster and a
stainless bacon fryer early.

I got the griddle seasoned this afternoon. I first sprayed
it all over with some Pam and let that cook off. In 10 minutes I was getting
600 deg. on the griddle. I let it go for 20 minutes and then let it cool down.

After it cooled I gave the cooking surface a thin coat of
lard and heated it up again for 20 minutes. It should be ready to do some good
smash burgers on it this week.

About Me

I started cooking when our children were in highschool & my wife worked.I was layed off during the summer & just kinda took over the kitchen & my wife does most all the cleanup. We are both retired now. I am a recipe hound, love to try new things. I suppose my cooking methods have evolved from Mid West Ohio, Southern, Soul, Cajun, Creole, & German, all of which I love.
